Lemur Posted October 27, 2009 Report Share Posted October 27, 2009 I added to my Amzn short yesterday at $124. Still got aapl and Cat shorts so hopefully make some money on them today. Pity I got stopped out of Goog but the loss was small which is one of the reasons I exited quickly. My gold long is hurting me now but I bought a gold put option this morning going into the numbers. (Note that little stop run on gold there for anybody who bought late yesterday with a stop at the lows). - now gold looks like its getting pumped up.

Lemur Posted October 27, 2009 Report Share Posted October 27, 2009 I think it opens at around 26... The crazy thing is...i had about 20 of these 2 weeks ago. The stock may move 20% but the premium is murder around earnings right? I am told the advantage is with the seller - on average - on the run into earnings as the implied volatility is so high. I also hear ThinkorSwim is much better than Tradestation for options trading? Any opinions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am told the advantage is with the seller - on average - on the run into earnings as the implied volatility is so high. I also hear ThinkorSwim is much better than Tradestation for options trading? Any opinions? I use thinkorswim. It's OK. No data fees. Have not used trade station yet. The intraday charts on thinkorswim are worse now, as the tick history has been reduced to 5 days [!!]. Far queue Ameritrade. [Ameritrade bought think or swim about 6 months ago, and is gradually porking it.] ... As for options: There is NO advantage in selling options. The premium blow-out around earnings only reflects the dynamic delta hedge slippage on opening gap-and-crap. Market makers are the devil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drano Posted October 27, 2009 Report Share Posted October 27, 2009 Schwab: The S&P/Case-Shiller Home Price Index was released this morning and showed a decline in home prices of 11.3% year-over-year (y/y) in August – less than the 11.9% fall that had been expected. I see that con-con isn't out yet? Schwab says "later this morning." Anyone know when? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THere is a tremendous advantage is being the SELLER of options -- just ask Shorty, who sold naked BIDU calls yesterday -- pure profit for his gutsiness now.
